SAD-IRON-SUPPORTING STAND.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 25, 19 17.

Application filed January 25, 1917. Serial No. 144,370.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we. FRANK KUIIN and JAY A. HAND, both citizens of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of \Vayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Iron-Supporting Stands, of which the following is a specification, ref erence being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to sad-iron supporting stands, and comprises the novel construction as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stand;

Fig. 2 is a cross-section thereof.

A is a sheet-metal stamping of the general contour of a sad-iron and provided with a marginal rounded bead B forming a retaining flange. It is also preferably formed with a depressed panel C so as to leave a comparatively narrow portion D for supporting the sad-iron. E is a second stamping, preferably the same in construction as the member A and arranged beneath the same, being spaced therefrom by tubular spacers F. G are cup-shaped supporting feet arranged below the member E in alinement with the spacers F, and H are rivets or other securing devices passing through the members A and E, spacers F and cup-shaped feet G, and securing all of said parts together. I

The construction as described is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and the The lower member E also forms a heat-re- Hector. while the air-space between the members E and A. serves as an additional cooling means. The feet G have a comparatively large base. forming a suitable support, while the contact with the superstructure is limited so as to decrease heat conduction.

\Vhat we claim as our invention is:

A sad-iron supporting stand, comprising a plurality of similar sheet-metal stampings, each being of the general contour of the iron to be supported and having a beaded edge and a depressed panel, leaving a comparatively narrow portion for engaging and supporting the sad-iron, tubular spacers for holding said stampilrgs separated from each other, inverted cup-shaped feet having a limited contact surface with the lower stamping and a comparatively larger base, and members passing through said spacers for securing said stampings to each other and to the. supporting feet.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK KUHN. JAY A. HAND.
